• The perfect balance between assertiveness and compliance. How do you strike it? Hmmm.
• Clam up, and someone will always think you're insecure. Share your preferences, they will tell you're weird. What are you supposed to do, then?
• I know, I know. BALANCE. "One does not negate the other."

You know, this might sound funny, but it's only now that my third year's nearing to an end that I've realized -- and accepted -- that I am a student of Nursing. Pathetic how I've been wishing for graduation since first year, when now, I panic at the thought that I have to make sure that I learned everything that is required of me -- and how I have ( Read more... )

Permission to express feelings of anger, hopelessness, allows for beginning resolution.

But yeah, you can't be that all the time.

i'm left in the play pen, because mommy has to go to the washroom. alone, i start to feel something. my sweat glands activate, oozing the cold and thick kind; instructions are sent to most of my body hair to stand straight, which induces me to give in to the urge. minutes pass, then i check what's in my diaper, and am delighted to see the new warm ( Read more... )

Why is everyone so grade-conscious?

I'm so irritated about the way people complain about it. I mean, get a life, would you?

Grades can be cheated. I can name people who cheat on a regular basis, while I've never cheated in any quiz, or in any exam, in my ENTIRE life. Kasi ayokong lumaking ganun. Gusto ko, honest ako. Because practice makes permanent ( Read more... )

It was my classmate's turn in administering immunization to babies. He was shaking due to nervousness, scaring one of the mothers in the health center. That same mother then asked our instructor if we, her students, were competent enough for the procedure. The instructor reassured the mother that we were capable.

Dapat naniwala na ako earlier this week when Sr. Vinoya enacted Dr. Hibek's "I will tear them to pieces," referring to the monthly long exams.

He made us write the lyrics of the university hymn, for ten points. Katayin na ang nakakuha nun. Now, highest score isn't to go above ninety. And just look at his odd-man-out choices: (a) Thumbelina, (b) The ( Read more... )
